Poll: I have a question. (EDITED)

[BanthaFodder]

Team Fortress 2 ftw

it's insanely versatile and focuses more on fun than on being "gritty" or "realistic"

Hey there Escapist.

Here is the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION EVER!!!

What is your Favorite FPS Series?

Favorite meaning in terms of gameplay, setting, story, characters etc.

I don't want any "HURR DURR, CALL OF DOUTY IS BETTUR THUN HALOZ AND GEARZ OF WOAR!!" crap.

So, tell me.

(BTW, I have played Call of Duty, Halo, TF2, Borderlands and a little bit of Gears.)

(EDIT: It is now by series, not title, to allow many different choices.)

Where is Doom, Unreal, Quake, Rainbow Six?

 

[UltraXan]

I prefer tf2, and not because of the story (you're a mercenary hired to shoot the other guys, what more is there to it?), but because it brings something new to the table in terms of gameplay. Although that new is almost 4 years old now...

 

[Ilikemilkshake]

Battlefield definatly, spent the most time playing this series

 

[Bravo 21]

I have to disagree with you having TF2 up there, because as any die hard fan will tell you, its not an FPS, but a war hat simulator, with some FPS elements. JK, but i Voted Battlefield, mostly because that's the games i started with.

 

[Iron Glorfindel]

Halo. First shooter I've owned was Halo Reach. I came a bit late to the party. That is, unless you count Starfox Assault...

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Ahem.

Gears of War is a third person shooter. FPS stands for FIRST person shooter.

Gears = TPS

FPS =/= TPS

By the transitive property, Gears =/= FPS.

Sorry, this happens SO much on these forums. Like, at least a dozen times a day I'd bet. Hopefully this'll help someone catch that mistake.

OT: By the terms in the OP, Halo Reach dominates nearly all of them.

thank you, this is one of my pet peeves, and like you said it happens all the god damn time on here =\


OT: meh fps's just are time wasters for me mostly, but i will say i have the most fun playing halo with friends, so halo wins it.

 

[BlindMessiah94]

Way to only have mainstream titles as poll options...so biased.

OT: Unreal Tournament.

EDIT: Also GoW isn't an FPS, it's a 3rd Person Shooter.

beaten to UT by far the best FPS imo

btw: what titles were? I only got the series listing

Sorry don't understand your question. What titles were what?

 

[DarthZod]

other.
Both Borderlands and Timesplitters are win for me.

 

[thatman]

Timesplitters, easily the most fun i ever had in an fps.

 

[veloper]

Serious Sam

 

[bulldogftw]

Does Portal 2 count?

 

[Weaver]

Gears of war is a third person shooter.

 

[luckycharms8282]

I have to say the call of duty series is my favorite, merely because of call of duty 4. That was a great game with a great balance of dtory and gameplay. I also enjoyed big red one, although the graphics and lighting would give me a headache everytime I played it.

Captain Price, "On your feet soldier. WE ARE LEAVING!"

That line will stay with me and comfort me through all of the disappointing cod installments.

 

[luckycharms8282]

Gears of war is a third person shooter.

Cant argue with that. Fps and tps are generally paired together, though.

 

[luckycharms8282]

My third response in a row, why arent the l4d or fallout series' on here? Both are very good fps (1st person view optional on f3 and nv)

 

[Sethzard]

Unreal Tournament I guess.

 

[ManWithHat]

I don't really play FPSs very much at all; I'm just not into them. Though, I do love Borderlands for whatever reason. I'll play the hell out of that game. It's Diablo 2 with guns!
My second would have to be Unreal Tournament 2. It's fun for the most part, especially onslaught.

 

[Cheesus333]

Out of those, I put Half Life 2. But Metroid Prime is probably my favourite.

I know there's an 'other' option, but I thought Half Life deserved some love too.

 

[JLML]

Metro 2033 is my favourite. Close second is probably Borderlands. Third is the Crysis series. It's mostly because of the look and style (Metro 2033 has the most awesome post-apocalyptic setting ever, I just love the feeling you get in a metro), and the way the story is told.
